Pro:
You don't have to pay the Item Market fee, and you can add, remove, and edit items and prices much more conveniently. You can also open/close it at your discretion.

Con:
You have to pay (250?) Points to unlock and only the 3 cheapest bazaars are viewable.

I also like to use mine to store Misc. items that I don't necessarily want to sell but I want my items page a little more organized. Just post it on the bottom with a <%200 above market price (to keep from other buying, or if they do, you get =<%100 profit).
Not really a sole reason to get a bazaar however if you are already planning on getting one or have one it is a nifty perk.

Also stacks bulk items (excluding weapons/armor) for easier purchase, as opposed to individually listed items that you have to buy 1 by 1.

I'd have never acquired 100k lolis & kitten plushies if market was the only way to buy items.
Overseer [2143302]
This too^ I've bought thousands of Vicodin, Xanax, and Lollipops through the bazaar system. Weapons are a pain the sell regardless of the system you use. Even the dump!

Reasons to want a Bazaar...

1. No cost to list, so you save some money. Plus, you can buy things in the market that can logically sell for a bit more (those annoying people who undercut existing prices by 5 dollars or whatever) and make a small amount of money in the process. This is a good way to protect your money while keeping it mostly liquid, by buying commodities when you're about to go to sleep and then sell them off when you wake up.

2. Convenience. As mentioned already, you can remove items a lot easier than on the market (which requires you to remove each item individually). You can also edit the price, which you can't do in the market to my knowledge (except by removing each item and then putting it back up at the new price, which also means paying the fee again).

3. Bulk. Not only can people buy easier from you because they can just pick the number that they want to buy from your total, but you also aren't limited to only posting 250 items like you are on the market.

I'm probably forgetting some cool bonuses, but those are the important ones that come to mind.

Against popular opinion, you should not buy bazaar if your nw is small imho. Empty bazaar is dead money. Personally I will wait for 70 mill nw.
As for item market tax, just work in property company to enlist your items in item market for no tax.

OP is already working in a music store. While he'll get more use out of a bazaar when he reaches level 15 (and can travel), there is still money to be had in the meantime just by buying and selling plushies from the city store. If he's already doing the shoplifting crimes, he can sell those spoils en masse.

Now, the real issue that he may have with getting a bazaar is getting one to begin with, as points aren't cheap. Now, if he wishes to get a subscription, it can obviously be a bit easier.

Ppl can xhange job. Op can too. He has not taken any xanax and no donator pack. Idt he is that serious about gym. I actually stated my opinion because I checked his stat first. Right now based on what I see he does not need bazaar. He need to spend his money on DP and xanaxes to level up faster.
He does not need spend 12 millions just to sell 100 jackets x 200 daily.

With the bazaar there are no fees when putting things into the market! You can also open and close your bazaar so if you go offline you don't get buy mugged

The bazaar is also placed above the items market so your items are seen first

People with bazzard can usually sell at higher prices
DedeSiregar [2430598]
Disagree with you. Each person has theirown needs. Instead just following common opinions, imo people should adjust things based on their finance and needs.

For new players with low stats/networth the extra money from a bazaar vs a trader or market would take a long time to equal the cost of 250 points.

If you have the capacity to turn over 330+million in a short time it is definitely worthwhile though.

Most newer players would benefit more from 10 refills, the bazaar is nice to have but not necessary.

In the very long term I think you would want a bazaar as you would end up saving more money. However if your networth is quite low, it may not be the best thing to get early on.
Clippy [2247889]
I went without a bazaar well after I levelled to 15 and was flying constantly. I sold to traders or directly on the market. 250 points is a big spend early on, and can take a long time to pay for itself .
Eventually it was worth it for the convenience alone, and the fee savings will eventually pay for it. I don't see a need for anyone to rush to it, just to sell their travel items or bits and bobs purchases. Get built up first, get some cheap decent gear, PI rental, large suitcase, and then look at a bazaar.
